> > story appears in print, on television, or on the Internet
> > depends on who is interested, its value to advertisers, the
> > costs of assembling the details, and competitors' products.
> > But in All the News That's Fit to Sell, economist James
> > Hamilton shows just how this happens. Furthermore, many
> > complaints about journalism--media bias, soft news, and
> > pundits as celebrities--arise from the impact of this
> > economic logic on news judgments.
